4.3/10
Informr score
The LG Cookie Plus currently has an Informr score of 4.3 out of 10. This score is based on our evaluation of 6 sources including reviews from users and the web's most trusted critics.

The LG Cookie Plus is a candy bar GSM Quad-band phone capable of global roaming. It's also the slightly scaled down version of the LG Renoir; it offers a 3MP camera instead of 8MP and lacks support for Wi-Fi and GPS.

The Cookie Plus has a 3-inch resistive touchscreen capable of rendering 240 x 400 pixel resolution. While that's no longer cause for a floor show the Cookie Plus does provide crisp colors and is easy on the eyes.

Oddly, the Cookie Plus comes with a stylus, which I always thought was a collective geek nightmare from the 90's. Still, users may well appreciate the stylus as an added input method.

Features of the Cookie Plus include the aforementioned 3MP camera, 2.1 Stereo Bluetooth, microSD expandable memory, MP3 player, FM radio and a full suite of the usual entry level features.

The LG Cookie Plus offers a talk time of up to 3.5 hours and a standby time of up to 350 hours.
